[2nd Bi-Annual Hijabi Fashion Week]: Day 4-Date Night!

"I need to break my fast--can I have a date?" and other such 'islamic' pick-up lines that didn't originate from my brain, are being added to my r'epertoire for full utilization in the future iA.

You smart cookie! Why yes, today's theme is Date Night.
It's funny, y'know. Conceiving potential sartorial combinations for an event one has never experienced--kind of like buying college dorm room supplies while you're in grade 5. Or calling a florist to arrange flowers for your bar mitzvah when you're in your mother's womb. Or blaming your induced-by-PMS volatile moods on menopause at age 24. I'm assuming you get the idea by now.


Still, therein lies great satisfaction from hypothesizing about this phenomena. An innate predisposition if you will. Alright, I'll stop musing about the nature of the human condition now.

 

This is a 100% accurate depiction of how I'd embrace FSO (Future Significant Other). (Shhh, don't laugh! You'll hurt my 14 year old kid sister's feelings--the pose was her innovative idea).

 

who what wear? 

• vintage dress, $2, F as in Frank fill-a-bag-sale 
• gold metallic tights, $10, H&M
• pleather vest, $3, thrifted 
• gold metallic shirt, $5, Value Village 
• gold metallic zebra print scarf, $5, H&M 
• stilleto-esque heels, $10

• ring, $1, Charlotte Russe
• bracelet & necklace, gifted
• beaded purse, vintage a la momma's from the 80's

 
You know what really maximizes my--errr--affinity for future romance shomance? Bollywood music! Surprising, I know. Here is one of 1832748374 possible songs I could've shared with you blogosphere (90's Bollywood is my weakness):
 

 

For my muslim brethren (or not! :)), I recently stumbled upon some great wisdom:

 "'Soulmates are Allah's secret.'" Thus, we should rather work on our relationships with ourselves and Him." ~@DeenOverDunia (a cool gal I follow on Twitter!)

Hijabi Fashion Week--Day 6: Date Night! UUU style.

Yup, you read right.
DATE NIGHT! =D
With hubbies, of course; th'as how we do it halaaaal, yo. ;)
I'm not 100% sure if the other ladies participating in HFW are of age, as in, have husbands...but from perusing their blogs, most of 'em are young! Still, there are a few that do have significant others, so when you look at their outfits...keep in mind it may be a Real Date Outfit, gasp! :)

*Hey future soul mate: when Hijabi Fashion Week rolls around 6, 7, 8 years from now inshah'allah (as HFW will be an annual thing!) you better be willing to guest star on Under Urooba's Umbrella, during the themed day of Date Night.
Yeah? Yeah!? Yeah! You really will be my soul mate then! ;)


Date Nights[/Days] That Would Be Incredibly Joyous For Me:

• la classique: dinner + movie; YUMMY dinner + GOOD movie
• moonlit walks on the beach (cue the awwwwwwwwwws) I LOVE MOONLIGHT.
• picnic on the beach, witnessing a sunset
• day at an amusement park!
• going to a cafe for some overpriced, caffeinated drinks and not only watching but participating in a slam poetry fest on a rainy sunday evening <3
• cliched candle-lit dinner at home; meal cooked together!
• 6 AM hike, up a mountain (I don't really do physical activity, but I'll make an exception ;))
• kayaking!
• camping together!
• reading the dictionary together--I kid, I kid! (Sort of. No wait, I do! I do! Ish.)
• And, you know, a day spent vintage shopping with his credit card has got to be a good day! ;)

Ahem. Got a little carried away there....
Anyways.
Here's what I'd wear (well, I wouldn't wear it to all the aforementioned activities. Read: hike up a mountain!):

who what wear?

• black shiny blazer: $7, Salvation Army
• kick-arse booty heels: $5, random thrift store
• CRAZY-wonderful-but-not-depictable-in-this-way-with-my-crapola-pictures-80's-discotheque-shiny dress: no clue, but it's vintage ofc!
• necklace: Aldo, $10 

Yeah! Fun's not over (ARE YOU SICK OF ME SAYING THIS YET, LOL)!
